The honey walnut prawns were hella good. They were nice and crispy and I like that they added the honey mayo sauce on the bottom and a bit on the side to keep it from getting soggy. I also liked the Kung Pao beef and the tofu. The sweet and sour chicken was OK.
I would highly recommend ordering online

Food was incredibly cheap, good and satisfying! One combo meal was enough to feed two and then some! Recommend if you're strapped for cash and want some decent Chinese food!

Extremely rude, very good food, would recommend.
Food and service are great! The atmosphere right outside is really sketchy due to many unsavory characters hanging out right in front of the restaurant. Please be careful!

Panda Kitchen is one of the only places that still serves cheap Chinese food in Oakland! Located right across the street from the Main Oakland Public Library and a few steps from Lake Merritt, they've been in business for more than 8+ years!
I used to come here all the time when my daughter went to school nearby, we would come after school to have a quick affordable dinner, and we would share since the portion has always been huge!
They used to display hot food in the front, and the lady would serve then and there. Now, when you place an order, it comes out fresh, so the food will be ready in 10 minutes.
If you're not sure what to order, they display food items on their walls so you can pick them from there. They also display the total prices on the table so you know exactly how much you are paying!! 😂 The portion is big and sharable.
Highly recommend it if you're in the area and looking for a hole in the wall spot!

I dine here quite often. The menu is extensive, featuring classic dishes like orange chicken, Kung Pao shrimp, and beef chow mein. Portions are generous, perfect for sharing, and the flavors are comforting.
However, the ambiance is fairly simple and no-frills, focused more on the food than decor. It can be slow during busy hours, especially for takeout orders. Despite this, the staff is a sweet older couple; very courteous and accommodating.
Panda Kitchen is a reliable spot for quick, casual Chinese food in Oakland Downtown. It’s not the fanciest option, but it certainly satisfies cravings for traditional Chinese-American cuisine.

Sorry delivery was not available. Food was great. You can get 2 main entrees with rice in 1 takeout carton. I had orange chicken & mushroom chicken with fried rice. Friend had to go & do the pick up but we both liked our meals. The vegetable spring rolls were so good I wished I had ordered extras.

Food is delicious, portions are large, prices are fare.
Shame it is located in an extremely unsavory part of town.
I would recommend only stopping by during the day and even so, be prepared for the riff raff around.

The food is delicious and is very affordable. The quantity is also good. I am in love with their boba drink and fish&chips. I am not giving them a star just because the food was a bit more oily and the location was not that great.
Finally, checked this place out, and I was happy with the food. The portions are generous, and the flavor was very good.
